There’s a cause an extended shot is an extended shot.
It means a successful result’s sometimes not within the playing cards — and much more so while you pair two lengthy photographs collectively.
However sometimes, the seller flips you the absolute best playing cards. That was the case for a FanDuel Sportsbook buyer who hit a two-leg long-shot parlay for practically $100,000, on NFL Week 10 odds.
Extra on that and different notable parlays, distinctive wins and main wagers — winners and losers alike — as we recap NFL Week 10 and faculty soccer Week 11 betting.
The Final Shall Be First
One of many extra fashionable prop bets every week within the NFL is on a participant to attain a recreation’s first landing. The same old suspects are favored — Derrick Henry, Saquon Barkley, Bijan Robinson, Justin Jefferson and the like.
Who’s not favored, and even near it? The backup quarterback for the Jacksonville Jaguars. That might be Mac Jones, former New England Patriots starter.
Jags beginning QB Trevor Lawrence (shoulder) was inactive Sunday, so Jones obtained the nod to begin towards the Minnesota Vikings. At FanDuel, Jones was a hefty +7000 to attain the sport’s first landing.
In the meantime, within the Atlanta Falcons-New Orleans Saints recreation, Saints wideout Marquez Valdes-Scantling was +3100 to attain the primary landing.
A prescient FanDuel buyer determined to pair Jones and Valdes-Scantling on a two-leg first-TD parlay. The bettor put down the odd sum of $42.90, at odds of +227100 or, in additional digestible type, 2271/1.
And guess what occurred? About 4 minutes into the Falcons-Saints recreation, Derek Carr discovered Valdes-Scantling on a 40-yard TD move. And late within the first quarter of Vikings-Jags, Jones plunged in from a yard out for the sport’s first landing.
So the bettor cashed out for a whopping $97,468.80.
Parlay Partay
One other FanDuel buyer went the anytime landing route however wanted all three gamers to attain within the first half of their respective video games. He related Denver Broncos wideout Courtland Sutton to Tennessee Titans wideout Calvin Ridley and Arizona Cardinals wideout Marvin Harrison Jr.
Sutton put up a second-quarter TD towards Kansas Metropolis, Ridley scored within the first quarter vs. the L.A. Chargers, and Harrison scored within the second quarter vs. the New York Jets.
The $150 player-prop parlay was at odds of +31260, or a little bit beneath 313/1.
Add all of it up, and also you’ve obtained a few $47,000 win.
The high-scoring Cincinnati Bengals vs. Baltimore Ravens Thursday evening recreation produced some huge winners. At DraftKings Sportsbook, two prospects — one in Maine, one in Illinois — put in parlay wagers on each Lamar Jackson and Joe Burrow throwing 4 or extra landing passes.
Each QBs had 4 TD passes in Baltimore’s 35-34 victory. The Maine buyer put up $750 and received $49,830, whereas the Illinois buyer turned $150 into $11,850.
On some bets, you’ve certainly heard it mentioned: “All people’s on it.”
Within the Bengals-Ravens recreation, at DraftKings, that saying was just about true. Greater than 20,000 bettors have been on the four-leg anytime-TD parlay of Ravens working again Derrick Henry and tight finish Mark Andrews and Bengals wideout Ja’Marr Chase and working again Chase Brown.
The chances have been solely a modest +1200. However all 4 discovered the top zone, so even when you solely put 10 bucks on it, you’d’ve cashed out for $120 revenue.
Right here’s Hoping You Had It
It’s not all about cashing out wild parlays for tens of hundreds of {dollars}. While you multiply any wager by 37, you’re gonna do fairly good.
Such was the case for anybody who had a Payments defensive landing as the primary rating within the Buffalo-Indianapolis recreation. Cornerback Taron Johnson returned an interception 23 yards to place Buffalo up 7-0 lower than three minutes into the sport.
A $100 guess at +3700 odds would’ve netted a wholesome $3,700 at FanDuel Sportsbook.
Bengals tight finish Tanner Hudson wasn’t anticipated to be a part of the scoring fest in Cincy’s 35-34 loss at Baltimore. FanDuel had Hudson anytime TD at +1700. A buyer then used a revenue enhance to stretch these odds to +2250, then put $100 on the wager.
Hudson scored on a three-yard TD move late within the first half, and the bettor profited $2,250 (whole payout $2,350).
And the way’s this for timing on an in-game guess, within the remaining seconds of the Denver Broncos-Kansas Metropolis Chiefs recreation? The Broncos, down 16-14, have been lining up for a relative chip-shot of a subject aim, 35 yards.
At that second, a DraftKings bettor put $150 on the Chiefs to win at +1000. Ok.C. blocked the sphere aim to protect the victory, and in a span of just some seconds, that buyer profited $1,500.
I Like Large Bets And I Can’t Lie
Caesars Sports activities took a couple of main wagers this weekend, principally within the NFL. Among the many notable performs:
- $126,000 Giants -6.5 vs. Panthers. All I can say is oof. New York by no means led, finally tied it at 17 within the waning seconds, then misplaced 20-17 in extra time.
- $110,000 Bengals +6 vs. Ravens. Cincy loses 35-34, however covers the quantity. Bettor income $100,000 (whole payout $210,000).
- $110,000 Rams -1 vs. Dolphins. This one nonetheless has to play out, on Monday evening.
- $26,000 Lamar Jackson Over 230.5 passing yards. The Ravens QB obtained there simply vs. Cincy, throwing for 290 yards. Bettor income $23,636 (whole payout $49,636).
- $55,000 Oregon -24.5 vs. Maryland. Geese win 39-18, however don’t cowl. Chalk one other one up for the home.
- $55,000 UNLV -13 vs. Hawaii. The Rebels eke out a 29-27 win, and the home retains the cash once more.
To wrap it up, how a few huge guess to win a little bit?
On Saturday’s Florida vs. Texas recreation, with the Longhorns an enormous residence favourite, a Caesars buyer put $50,333.35 on Texas moneyline -2000.
All of the Longhorns needed to do was win, which they simply did, 49-17. So the bettor profited all of $2,516.67, for a complete payout of $52,850.02. However hey, that’s 5% ROI.
On this economic system, I’d take it.
